167.The Hare and the Hound

A HOUND started a hare from his lair, but after a long run, gave up the chase. A bird seeing him stop, mocked him, saying “The little one is the best runner of the two.”

The hound replied:

“You do not see the difference between us. I was only running for a dinner, but he for his life.” Then the hound caught the bird for dinner.

Unpopular (hound) reforms may be most needed.
